Physique Fitness and Performance

Physique Fitness and Performance

Totally revised and updated this second edition of the well-received Physique Fitness and Performance retains the unique integrated approach of its predecessor examining the relationship of structure to function in human performance. Far surpassing the limited focus of standard exercise and fitness books it combines the morphological study of physique relative to body structure body size and body composition with the applied interaction of muscular cardiovascular motor and metabolic system capacities abilities and skills developed and acquired through exercise and training programs. Establishing a background and history for the current prevalent interrelationships between physique and physical performance the book begins by outlining the morphological physical motor and metabolic component areas of study involved in physical training. Part One introduces the study of the structure-function relationships relating body structure size and composition to fitness and physical performance. Part Two and Part Three present an overview of the quantitative and qualitative study of physical and physiological conditioning motor learning and motor control specifically regarding the development of motor skill within general/open loop and specific/closed loop parameter guidelines. It also covers fatigue and its physiological and psychological effects on training processes. Part Four explores nutrition and the utilization of carbohydrates fats proteins water vitamins and minerals during physical training. It includes an overview of lipids lipoproteins cholesterol and atherosclerosis; dietary goals and guidelines; and risk factors relating to heart disease and obesity within health and fitness parameter guidelines. Finally extensive appendices present the pertinent figures tables and forms used in evaluation and programming.
